July 8, 2017 - Port McNeill

Great fuelling up, watering up and getting that laundry done! The place is 1/2 empty, sign of the lack of boats up here. Mac's will stay here a few more days waiting for impeller parts to come in.
Off to go fishing in Blackfish Sound! Hope no-one is in our little spot.

Burdwood Group

A Sea Lion Rookery - funny to have so many names to call a group of Sea Lions, if in the water, they are called a raft, if one male and a bunch of females, they are called a harem and if in lounging mode, they are called a rookery!

Profiles of who we are

"Shaman II" is a 48' 1973 fiberglass "Gulf Commander". Twin Caterpillar 3116. 500 gal Fuel (Gulp!) and 500 gal fresh water. We have owned her for 27 years and we are the second owner. We are a self sufficient cruising machine with all the trappings of home. Mike and I are retired now and every chance we get, we "Live the Dream". We have one fabulous son who is the proud owner of his own boat, "Eye Candy"....aptly named after his sweetie, Shannon! Three of the sweetest Grandchildren you could have....Mr. Keaton and Coco (Cohen aka the Pope), and baby Harrison (Bob).

Mike and I have spent our summers for the last 45 years scouring the coast to see all that we can see in every nook and cranny our boat will fit into. The earlier years were spent as any normal boating family would, bringing our son and friends to Desolation Sound for 2 weeks of swimming! These days, we spend most of our time mid coast. Three trips to Alaska under our belt and 25 plus years hanging out in the Central to North Coast.
